Chemical Warehouse Safety Training. Online Course. Free Certification.

What is Chemical Warehouse Safety?

Chemical warehouse safety is an important aspect of managing the chemical supply chain. Unlike warehouses that store non hazardous goods, chemical warehouses need to be designed to safely store, handle and manage a large number of hazardous, explosive, toxic or environmentally damaging chemicals and materials, in large quantities, in a safe way. This Abhisam e-learning course covers all  aspects of chemical warehouse safety.

Why should we learn how to store and handle chemicals safely?

Unlike storage of non dangerous goods, chemicals can be very dangerous to humans as well as the environment, if they are not properly stored or handled. In the recent past there have been many incidents of ignorance of chemical warehouse safety that have led to massive accidents, like those in Tianjin, China and recently in Beirut, Lebanon where Ammonium Nitrate in a chemical warehouse caught fire and exploded.

What is different about this course as compared to a standard warehouse safety course?

Most warehouse safety courses include general aspects of warehouse safety which are applicable for storing non hazardous goods, such as for example, books, textiles, computer parts, auto parts and so on.  Such a course does not cover aspects of chemical safety. Hence, Abhisam has created this course so that people involved in the handling and storage of chemicals are fully aware of everything that they need to do to store chemicals safely.

This requires a special set of knowledge and skills, that are not available generally, as part of the normal warehouse safety courses available elsewhere.

Why should I take this course?

If you are in any way involved in the import, export, manufacture, storage, handling or logistics of chemicals, then you MUST take this course in order to understand how to handle them safely.

The importance of safety in today’s chemical storage facilities cannot be overstated. These facilities store everyday, hundreds or even thousands of tons of chemicals and are located in various areas, such as industrial manufacturing plants, logistics parks, shipping yards, ports and even airports.

If you are involved in the business of chemicals (including hydrocarbons, specialty chemicals, pesticides, agrochemicals, fertilizers, etc), you must have realized that they need to be handled very safely, to avoid accidents that have taken place earlier such as in Tianjin or Beirut.

This is not only to avoid the possibility of damage of goods, but also damage to the facilities, environment and even the general public at large.

Remember, you need to follow the best practices that are taught in this course, so that you can avoid accidents in chemical warehouses and be saved from subsequent liabilities.

In case of a chemical warehouse accident, not only will you lose the goods themselves due to fire, leaks or explosions, but you may also get sued by other people and businesses who may get damaged due to the accident.

Can I not get this information free from elsewhere?

There is a  common myth  “Just Google it”

It is a myth that you can simply Google for Chemical Warehouse Safety   information and get everything that you need to know.

Most likely, you will get a large number of warehouse safety articles and information, but many will be related to normal warehouses that store non hazardous goods.

Even if you do find enough material, it will take you a long time to sequence it all together in one coherent document that makes sense to you.

Even after doing all this there is a possibility that you may not get what you really need to know from a chemical storage perspective.

Plus you will spend several hours of your time doing all this for zero returns on your investment!

On the other hand, when you take this Abhisam Safe Chemical Warehousing course, you know that

      1.  It is very carefully made, with subject matter experts in the field of Chemical Logistics, Warehouse Safety, Chemical Handling and Storage, Process Safety & Environmental science who have spent decades in the actual field handling dangerous goods.
      2. Utilizes easy graphics, animations and simulations, real life examples of dos and donts, correct and incorrect practices  that enable you to understand chemical warehouse safety quickly.
      3.  Earn a Certificate when you pass the associated exam and also get an electronic badge that can be displayed online on places such as LinkedIn. Get Noticed as an Expert!


Can I not simply buy a book? That will be much cheaper!

Of course, you could always pass this up and decide to go for  buy a book on this topic, but, remember that there are some disadvantages with this approach

      1.  The first is that not a single book is available  that covers all the topics that you need to know. On the other hand, there will be many books on warehouse safety, general logistics and supply chain management, that may be relevant to only those working in general storage warehouse environments, not chemical warehouses.
      2.  Some of these books may be outdated and obsolete.
      3.  Nobody gives you a certificate if you simply read a book!
